The Federal Government, through the Nigerian Customs Service, last week issued a directive banning the importation of cars through Nigeria’s land borders. The ban affects used and new cars. The order was clear that this action does not represent a total ban on importation of cars into the country, but a restriction of car importation to Nigerian seaports.

The ban has since generated a lot of debate with many condemning the action, especially those who are up in arms and have accused the government of being insensitive to the plight of small car dealers who, it is now becoming clear, are major beneficiaries of cars imported through the country’s land borders.
